WASHINGTON--the House late Tuesday passed--by a less-than-veto-proof 265-159 margin--an expansion of a children's health insurance program over the objections of area Republican members, who voted against the bill.
President Bush has threatened to veto the Democratic-backed bill, which would add coverage for several million children and families under the State Children's Health Isurance Program by increasing cigarette taxes by 61 cents a pack.
"This is a crummy bill," Rep. Zach Wamp, R-Tenn., said. "We created this program 10 years ago to help working families, but this goes way beyond the original intent of the bill."

It just warms my heart to see the principled stance the Republicans named in the article take: Socialism for all, only a little slower!
The Constitution was nice while it lasted.

I'm 18 and I don't want no government bureaucrats controlling MY health care.
I'm listening to DeMint on C-SPAN right now and he is slamming socialized medicine, saying we're selling out our freedom and turning our country into a socialist-style nation. "We shouldn't even pretend the government can run our health care." He nailed it!
